We're pleased to offer the following services at Coventry Animal Hospital:

Medical Appointments

Our appointment book is computerized which allows us to efficiently make appointments for you and your pet. Our receptionists and team will attempt to accommodate all requests to the best of our ability. We are open for scheduled appointments on:

• Monday through Thursday: 8:30am - 7:30pm
• Friday: 8:30am -5:00pm
• Saturday: 8:30am - 12pm

If you feel you have an emergency with your pet, please call us at the hospital immediately. If possible it is best to call before coming in so that a staff member can advise you on your particular emergency.  We may not always have a doctor on staff even though the hospital is open.  Some types of emergencies may be better handled by an emergency hospital.

Housecall Appointments

Dr. Marchetti is now offering housecall services for Coventry Animal Hospital and Ludwigs Corner Veterinary Hospital clients.  Housecalls can be beneficial in multiple pet households, for pets or clients that have difficulty with travel, or for clients that have busy schedules.  Let us bring the practice to you!

These services are by appointment. Please call the hospital at 610-323-9454 for more information.

Surgical Appointments

Before placing your pet under anesthesia, our veterinarians will:

 1. perform a wellness exam - It is important to ensure that there are no obvious external medical concerns.

2. perform a blood screening - Most anesthetic drugs are removed from the body through the liver and kidneys and the tests performed will check to make sure these organs are functioning normally.

***Normal blood test results do not guarantee that your pet will not have an anesthetic reaction, but they tell us that your pet is healthy and at low risk for surgery.  All anesthetics carry some risk and it is important to have as much information as possible prior to your pet's procedure so we can make the decisions necessary to lower those risks.

Types of Surgeries Performed

Feline/Canine Spay (ovariohysterectomy):  During this abdominal, surgical procedure, the uterus and ovaries are removed from a female animal.  The pet is placed under general anesthesia for this procedure. 

**Please note:  We have your pet's best interests in mind and will not spay a female dog that is "in heat".  Please schedule a spay appointment around your dog's estrus cycle.

Feline/Canine Neuter (orchiectomy or castration): During this surgical procedure, the testicles are removed from the male animal.  The pet is placed under general anesthesia for this procedure.  Surgery may be performed on male pets where one or both testicles have not descended.  This is called a uni-lateral or bi-lateral cryptorchid neuter.

Umbilical Hernia Repair:  Some pets are born with an umbilical hernia which can be repaired at the time of their spay or neuter surgery.

Other Services
